Panthers go into the game on the back of a four-point weekend with wins on the road at Manchester Storm (4-1) and home to Fife Flyers (9-3).
The Devils beat Dundee Stars 7-3 on Saturday before losing 4-3 the following night at Sheffield Steelers.

Panthers currently sit third in the standings on 66 points, a point behind second-placed Sheffield and three points back on Belfast. Cardiff are fourth on 60 points.
Davis Bunz, who scored his first goal of the season on Sunday, said: "We looking forward to facing the Devils but we know it's going to be a really tough test.
"We are up for it and we have to show up ready to play. The fans have been unreal all season and we know they will be right behind us."
